Don't get me wrong, it looks amazing It looks like a regular 2d in some places, but others have a really smooth transition in colors. Is this some kind of 3d and 2d blend?

At least from what I'm seeing, yes. Of course typically in anime, as of late, we've gotten acquainted with 3d walk cycles and vehicles, but the mandrake looks 3d, so the animators might actually be making more liberal use of it, it seems to me.

The worst thing in this show is coloring and shading of characters. Look at this, it looks awfully CGish and cheap (2 color gradient?). JC Staff had done similar thing in Prison School. This anime looks whole universe better than Prison School, but still... :/ OK, 3D vechicles are ...well... bareable, but something like this...

And those beautiful (open air) backgrounds = Triple A (this is their usual work, Non Non Biyori and tons of other shows), not JC Staff.
But still, one of the best start episode of the season :P

Looks Okay for me. To be fair, I'm not the kind of person who pays attention to small details but the artwork is good imo.

A flawed statement. If anything, animation keeps getting better as time passes. The advancement of 3D animation methods merely enables the animators to keep production costs down (in turn enabling us enjoy a whole lot more content than ever before). Overall, the drop of animation quality is clearly not evident.

Heck, watch a few shows of the Gundam metaseries (which is an excellent showcase of the development of anime and animation in general).

i though the background is rotoscoped rather than 3D design. lOl.

Maybe, but I feel like that would take more effort.

I think people don't like changes in traditional animations.

Because animators should use purely traditional methods but still make it look modern and amazing. Realistically speaking, this should be easily accomplished as money and resources are clearly unlimited if you're an animation studio and being profitable is irrelevant. Those damn selfish studios. I contribute zero dollars and zero cents and all they provide me with is cut corners and hack jobs. Woe is me.

However Makoto looks like she's in her early to mid 20's in casual clothes.

okay but cutting a few corners to save some money vs. doing a complete shit job because you felt like it are two completely different things lmao

I'd rather enjoy anime like this that's beautifully made in 3d than atrocities that's drawn in 2d.

Gotta say too that the art is amazing. I hope this kind of art will be seen in the future more and more.
